Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath feels that he has "learnt a lot" after being associated with the MRF Pace Foundation in the last two years after his initial hesitation to take over the role from Dennis Lillee.
"To take over from Dennis (Lillee), I was a little bit hesitant. Dennis told me to come and work with him here for two weeks. Obviously, I was impressed with the coaching staff and then decided in favour of it. Since then, it has been a learning experience for me as well," McGrath told mediapersons sitting alongside Sachin Tendulkar, here on Friday.
The highest wicket-taker in Test cricket among pacers also feels that during his formative years, he never went through such a systematic grind.
"If I had known them when I was playing as to what I know now, I could have fixed my action up and bowled a bit better. I have really enjoyed being here for three years," said 'Pigeon'.
McGrath said that "skill and technique" can take a talented bowler till a certain level but it is the "attitude" that determines one's success at the highest level.
"Skill and techniques are important and attitude takes you the rest of the way. It is about combination of skill, work ethics and if you achieve these, there is no stopping you.
 "Sachin and myself have been lucky to play at the top level and it is something unique that we are able to pass on our experiences to young guys coming through.
"Quite a few Indian bowlers have gone through the MRF Pace Foundation and played for India," he said.
McGrath said that he has enjoyed working with the next crop of Indian pacers and focussed on the mental aspect of preparation.
